It’s been a few months since City Council approved changes to the Land Development Code known as the HOME amendments, and now a task force focused on improving the process of using those amendments is looking for feedback from the public. The first phase of HOME was approved in December 2023 with the aim of making development of housing easier in single-family neighborhoods. To check in on whether this is actually happening, the HOME task force is seeking firsthand information on the experience of going through the development process. Residents can weigh in in person at a Dec. 14 session that will be held at the Conley-Guerrero Senior Activity Center from 9:30 until 11:30 a.m. (registration here) or online here. Any questions can be directed to dsdcommunications@austintexas.gov.

 

This whisper has been changed to reflect the correct date that HOME was approved.
